About
It all started when…
I grew up in an environment surrounded with beautiful colors and patterns, thanks to my mother’s eye for color and keen sense of decorating, along with my father’s eye for a well-crafted line in every possible material. My family and my home were the first things that I naturally drew inspiration from. I love fusing colors, and my inspiration for color combinations usually comes from my own fashion and the world around me, especially in the design of day to day elements.
I began Fanciful Ink as a creative outlet, hoping to grow it over time. I love customization and creating something specifically for someone to reflect their personality and their event. Whether it is a party invitation, a birth announcement, your personal stationary or a beautiful wedding invitation, make the event about you and your celebration. That anticipation of opening an envelope and pulling out a custom design brings so much joy for your guests. It sets the stage, it's the first piece of decor they see and their first impression of the festivities. Why not make their first impression a lasting, gorgeous one?
